G.M.
I love to cook and let me tell you that Paula Deen on the food network is good for learning little seasoning secrets. I also like the Barefoot Contessa. DVR their shows and watch them when you have a chance. William Sonoma at the malls has cooking classes also. If you happen to get invited to a Pampered Chef Cooking Show, go, the consultants has lots of neat ideas (not to mention tools). I use to sell Pampered Chef but had to stop because I need to take care of my parents, but I loved it because each kitchen tool came with instructions on how to use it and several recipes. Hope this helps.
